Battle Reported at Santiago
With the Spaniards.
ANOTHER VICTORY FOR AMERICA.
Cervera Sent Torpedo Boats to Destroy Our Warships
But the Plan was Discovered and the Span
iards Driven Back Report Not Con
firmedOfficials Skeptical.
A Hpt'iiiul tolugmiu to the HnitAi.l)
this afternoon from Washington, Mud
ut !i:'oO o'clock, says tlioro is no
olllcial confirmation nt the Navy
(IcpiLi'tuiunt up to that hour of tliu
ntport that Admiral Sampson and
Cominodoro Schluy hud engaged
Admiral Corvera ut Santiago yester-:
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, an account
of which, as reported, will be found
below.
In tlio absence of advices from
Commodore Schley some of the naval
ollli'ials are inclined to discredit the
nuwspaper reports.
That the naval oillcialsat Washing
ton have no conllrmatory news of
the reported buttle is not to bo
wondered ut. The only telegraphic
communication from Santiago must
be through Spanish sources, and
under these conditions it was not
expected that Secretary Long woidd
hear from either Sampson or Schley
at this curly hour. Tlioy can report
only by despatch bouts tent to
Jumuicu or Mole St. Nicholas, over
two hundred miles from Santiago,
Tiit re appears little doubt tiiat the
report, coming from Spanish sources,
is correct in the niuin. Schley was
only awaiting just such an oppor
tunity to duplicate Dewey's bold dash
into Manila.
Special to Hveninu llKIIALU.
Capo Haytion, Hayil, Juno 1. Four
teen American warships and two tor
pedo boats began a terrible attack on
the defenses of Santiago do Cuba har
bor yesterday afternoon, Admiral Cer
vera's fleet taking part in tlio defense
of the city.
Admiral Sampson is said to have
Joined Comraodoro Schloy on blockade
at noon, and the movo was at onco
begun. FIvo American warships pass
ed down through tho Windward pas
sage early In the morning, and these
woro probably Sampson's boats, tho
flagship Now York being reported from
Port au Prince, Haytl, as having been
ono of tho second fleet.
Tho forts of Morro Castlo, La Zocapa
and Punta Gorda suffered nearly total
destruction. Tho cublo botween San
tiago do Cuba and Capo Haytion is
working, but Santiago is panicstrlcken
and most of tlio populace Is hiding in
tlio hills back of tho city. Tho cablo
oporator at Santiago has only boon at
Ids post at intorvals.
Tho attack of tho Americans began
at 2 o'clock in tho afternoon and tho
shelling of tho forts was kept up until
3:45, when tho sound scorned to Indl
cato a battlo at sea.
Tho result is undoubtedly an Amer
ican victory, but tho details of tho ond
of tho fight havo not come.
Admiral Corvera, short of provisions,
and knowing that a light was inevit
able, Monday night determined to
niako a desporato offyrt to cscapo from
the harbor. About midnight ho sent
out tho torpedo boat destroyers Furor
mid Pluton to attack tho American
fleet, hoping that under tho cover of
night the destroyers, with their White
head torpedoos, could sink tho llylng
squadron, or at least put it to flight,
IIo moved Ids crulserB up toward tho
harbor's mouth, ready to lleo It the
mUeinii q the ilestrovtirs wp success
ful. Tho small 'boats were fflscoverell
by tho searchlights of tho American
ships, which hnve played on the har
bor's mouth every night, mid, under a
strong Are, were compelled to turn
back. Admiral Cervera's effort to es
cape had failed completely, and his
ships returned to their anchorago about
daybreak.
About noon yesterday tlio American
squadrons drow nearer the harbor In
hue of battlo. On tho flagship Brook
lyn, with Commodore Schley, was
Emlllo Nunu, a Cuban pilot, who
know tho harbor perfectly, and who
iad been brought over from Jamaica
by tho auxiliary cruiser Harvard.
What ships Sampson took down ara
not known, but with Schley wero tho
Brooklyn, the first class battleships
Massachusetts and Iowa, tho second
class battleship Texas, tl-o protected
cruiser Minneapolis, the unarmored
cruiser Marblehead, tho auxiliary
cruisers Harvard, Yale and St. Paul
and tho gunboat Vixen. Tho weaker
boats did not take part in the heavy
fighting, tho big battleships doing most
of tho work.
Tho Bquadron steamed slowly toward
Morro Castlo, that occupies the pro
monotory at the right of the entrance,
ond taking up a position about two
milos off shore began a bombardment.
Tho big guns of tho battleships started
a terrific shelling, throwing a missile
Dvory minute with great precision. Tho
shells fell short at first, but tho range
was soon found, and for -10 minutes
nearly every shot fired tore groat noles
in Morro's stone walls. The Morro
Is on a high hill, but the American
guns wero elevated with seeming llttlo
difllculty.
The Spanish guns In tho castlo re
plied vigorously. Tho fortifications
thero are stronger than popularly sup
posed, and their strength showed. Tho
Spanish gunners fought bravely, but
their aim was poor.
Admiral Cervera's fieet hoard tho
noise of battle and steamed down near
the narrow entrance, and tho Vizcaya,
Almtranto Oqucudo, Infanta Maria
Teresa and Cristobal Colon began to
reply to tho flro of tho American com
bined squadrons.
Half a mile past Morro, on tho loft
sido and nt a bend in tlio channel, are
the batteries of La Zocapa, and tho
Spanish guns thundered forth volley
after volley on the American ships'
decks, some of tlio shots taking clfect.
Farther In the harbor Is tho fort of
Punta Gorda, and tho guns here also
entered Into action. Thero are hills
between theso two forts and tho sea,
but with known elevation and dlstauco,
tho Spanish gunners wero enabled to
reach tho American ships.
Tho cablo oporator at Santiago wires
that the bombardment of tho forts
ceased nt 3:45,
Soon after thero was terrific cannon
ading heard farther out, presumably at
sea. This continued for some timo,
when about 5:30 tho firing ceased com
pletely. It is thought thnt Admiral
Cervera sailed out to sea to give battle
and that ho has surrendorod or his
ships destroyed.
Santiago will not answer requests
for tho number of Spanish killed,
which miiBt hnvo been very great.
Whotlior or not the Americans ea-
tered the bay is not known. It is re
ported hero that they did, but this is
doubted, as it is scarcely to be sup
posed thnt Comuiodoro Schloy would
attempt to run tho forts through u
channel known to bo filled with both
oleotricul and contact minos. Again,
had ho forced the passage of the forts
and passed ovnrtho minos unharmed,
it is certain that ho would havo tit
onco proceeded toward tho city und
engaged tho Spanish warships and
tho batteries in that neighborhood.
Judging from tho reports of tho
light that have been received hero, it
is almost certain that llttlo, if any,
damage was done to the Amoricuus.

OFFICIALSJKEPTICAL.
Naval Men nt Washington Point Out the
Improbability of the Re
ported Battle.
Washington, Juno 1. Naval officials
absolutely discredit the news from
Cane Haytlen to tho effect that r.nm.
modore Schley forced an entrance to
Santiago hay and engaged the Spanish
fieet In tho harbor. Whllo no official
advices havo been rocoivod from Com
modoro Schloy slnco tho battlo Is re
ported to hnvo occurred, tho naval of
ficials declare with posItlvenesB that
it Is not only Improbable but In the
circumstances almost Impossible that
an nttompt should have been mndo by
tho Ainoricon commoiloro to force an
entrance to tho bay.
Tho latest official advices rocoivod
from Commodore Schley wero con
tained In n cablegram which came lato
ynstordny afternoon, and the commo
dore gives no Indication of an Inten
tion to try to enter the harbor of San
tiago. Whllo tho contents of tho iIIb
patch wero not made public the bul
letin Issued upon It by tho navy de
partment Indicates that Commodore
Schley is still endeavoring to deter
mine just what Spanish vessels are In
the harbor. Tho bulletin follows:
"Commodore Schley's fleet has sight
ed another vessel of tho Vizcaya class
in Santiago harbor."
Tho naval officers declare that Schley
would not endeavor to force his way
into the harbor in view of tho great
difficulties of navigation which would
have to be surmounted In the effort.
Tho chtranco to the harbor is a chan
nel nearly three-quarters of a mllo in
length and at one point only about
a hundred yards wide. While tho
channel has plenty of water to float
the ships it Is tortuous and at places
dangerous. Shore batteries line both
sides of tho channel, and a vessel run
ning It would afford a target that not
oven n Spanish gunner could fall to hit.

THE G1RARD ESTATE INVOLVED I
Broselous Is the Tenant, Bat He Neither
Leased Nor Rented from Anybody.
How He Got Into the Prprty
Owned by Mrs. Griffiths.
An ejectment suit in which a novel and
successful plea was mado by the defendant
was tried by Justice Shoomakor Inst night.
through her counsel, J. H. Pomoroy, Esq.,
Mrs. Elizabeth Orillltlis. of West Oak street,
sought to eject John Hrosclous from cno of
hor properties on tlio wound of non-payment
of rout.
When vailed upon to plod Ilrotcious stated
that be had been tlio occupant, with his
fain 1 1 y. of a bouse on Locust Mountain over
which there was a dispute of ownership be
tween tho Girard Estate and the Yost and
tlio Yost and oilier heirs. Aceording to Ilros
cinus' statement Cilrard Estalo ollb ials railed
upon him and promised that if he would va
cate they would procure a dwelling bouse for
him and pay the first month's rent.
Hroscious Bays ho declined to accode, but the
olUcials of the Lstato removed his household
cfl'ects and plated them In Mw. Orirllths'
bouse. Under these circumstances, IlromnMU
claimed, lie was not responsible for the rent.
He never leased from Mrs. Griffiths and
never niado liny agrcemout to pay lent, or
perform any othor act, und that Mrs
drillitlis' real lessee was tho Girard Estate, as
it was its officials that secured tho house and
moved tho furniture into it.
After bearing the evidence Justice Shoe
maker dismissed the suit, holding that no
ejectment could be sustained tinder the
proceedings instituted, and that to properly
obtain relief Mrs. Grillltlis must enter a suit
against the Girard Estnto, as the lessee of the
pieniisos, and liroioiousas tho sub-tenant.
